vintage, nostalgia and memories

October 5, 2015

The stunning archive of the world's rarest posters connected to the sci-fi franchise has been compiled by Gary Kurtz, who produced the first two Star Wars films. Oscar-winner Kurtz pieced together the collection of more than 30 advertising posters during his time as director George Lucas' right-hand man.

Mr Kurtz, a former vice president of Lucas' production company Lucasfilm, set about snapping up the most rare issues of posters used in cinema lobbies and on advertising hoardings. His collection includes posters in many different languages including Japanese, German, Mandarin, Italian, Danish and even Hebrew.
